I have now the same problem when typing in latex. What the hell is going on here?

Does your FolderABC or what ever you call it, contains any wild charters ? did you try moving the folder to desktop

| Oct 5, 2018 at 8:36 | comment | added | oarfish | Well, it's full of bank statement pdfs. As a test I removed all which were added in the last couple of months, but as expected, that doesn't do anything. If anything, the problem should be in the parent directory, no? Why would Spotlight look through the folder contents when I'm searching for the folder itself? | |
| Oct 5, 2018 at 6:59 | comment | added | Ruskes | something is in your mysterious folder that scares Spotlight | |
| Oct 5, 2018 at 6:55 | comment | added | Ruskes | that looks normal to me | |

mds_stores briefly goes from 0 to around 10 while mds goes from 0 to about 2. So they are doing something.

| Oct 4, 2018 at 17:30 | comment | added | Ruskes | OK ,let me crash my Spotlight, or do you have some special add on to it | |
